Sorry. The Fine Article. I didn't mean it in the disparaging connotation.

It's a reference to RTFM, Read The Fine Manual.

TIL: RTFM was a phrase from the 40s : "Read the field manual."

I never seen the F in RTFM mean “fine” before. I’ve always seen it used as the more vulgar “read the f*ing manual”.

I believe that's the joke.
